One of our favorite parts of watching anime is seeing if the couple we’re rooting for is the one that’s going to get together. Sometimes, everything happens exactly as we want it to, and our favorite characters end up walking off happily into the sunset together.

And other times, a character we love ends up with a character we hate, or both characters are uninteresting, or their relationships have irreconcilable problems. The 2010s have given us a lot of couples that have gotten their happy endings, and we’re definitely happier about some of them than others. Here are our picks for the five best anime couples of the 2010s and the five worst.

10 Best: Yuri And Victor (Yuri on Ice)

We watched Yuri on Ice with our hearts in our mouths as Yuri tried to achieve his new figure skating dreams with the help of Victor, his idol and new coach. The series doesn’t leave us hanging about whether the two are attracted to each other, with constant flirting and passionate declarations. Yuri and Victor are what every couple should be: two people who care deeply about each other and are devoted to helping each other be their best selves and to achieve their goals. The competition that sparks up between them only makes the flirtations that much more adorable.

9 Worst: Naruto And Hinata (Naruto Shippuden And Boruto: Naruto Next Generations)

Naruto attempts to protect Hinata in The Last Naruto The Movie

After more than a decade of Naruto, we’re mostly wondering how this couple even came to be. The two characters barely cross paths in the original series, and while they do spend more time together in Shippuden, their chemistry leaves something to be desired.

The fact that Hinata has been quietly pining after Naruto for most of the series is extra wince-y, since Naruto barely acknowledged her existence when they were kids. We have a lot of trouble believing these two would go on to get married and have two kids.

8 Best: Hiro And Zero Two (Darling In The Franxx)

Main Cast From Darling In The Franxx

While Hiro and Zero Two’s relationship gets off to a rocky start, with Zero Two mostly using him to achieve her goal, which is to find her darling, the young boy who was kind to her when she was a child, their fairytale romance wins us over pretty quickly. Hiro turns out to be the boy she was looking for, and the two of them work through the traumas of their childhoods as Parasites to find a way to love each other, even flying off deep into space together in their FRANXX to essentially become one. When they’re both reincarnated on an earth recovered and repopulated thanks to their friends, they find each other even then, the definition of soul mates.

7 Worst: Goro And Ichigo (Darling In The Franxx)

On the other end of the spectrum, from the same series are Goro and Ichigo. Ichigo has feelings for Hiro, leaving Goro pining after her. When Hiro declares his love for Zero Two, and it’s clear that nothing romantic is going to happen between Hiro and Ichigo, she ends up with Goro, who has been patient and kind with her.

While their relationship is built on some mutual respect and understanding, the fact that Ichigo seems to settle for him takes a lot of the romance out of their relationship. The fact that all of the Parasites are totally ill-equipped for romantic relationships because of their upbringing certainly doesn’t help.

6 Best: Kaori And Kousei (Your Lie In April)

While we don’t actually get to see Kaori and Kousei become an actual couple before the end of the series, the romance is certainly there. The series is really bittersweet with an ending that will leave everyone devastated. But the encouragement between the two, and Kaori doing her best to make the most of the time they get to have together and to help Kousei rediscover his love for music, is all we could ask for in our own relationships, so we definitely love seeing it in this anime, even if it broke our hearts at the end.

5 Worst: Asuna And Kirito (Sword Art Online)

The story of Sword Art Online takes place primarily in a virtual reality world. Asuna and Kirito are both trapped inside the game, unable to leave to return to the real world. They become a couple under these conditions and are even married later on in the series.

At this point, they even adopt a child named Yui and live together in the game as a family. The fact that they have such a serious relationship in the game when in the real world, they’re two teenagers who have never met in person seems a little far-fetched, since they don’t actually know anything about each other outside of the context of the game.

4 Best: Ritsuka And Mafuyu (Given)

Given is one of those series that feels totally unfairly slept on. A sweet story about Ritsuka, a boy in a band who’s become bored by music now that he’s gotten really good at playing it, and Mafuyu, a boy with a mysterious past who wants to learn to play the beautiful Gibson guitar he carries around on his back, the romance is subtle and sweet. Ritsuka helps Mafuyu find the voice he lost through years of abuse and Mafuyu reminds Ritsuka about the joys of playing guitar. We hope these boys keep making music together for years to come.

3 Worst: Banri Tada And Koko Kaga (Golden Time)

Though Golden Time is a treat to watch, with a million characters and a ton of jokes, the actual couple we follow, Banri and Koko, are just awful. Koko is established right away as a spoiled brat who feels entitled to the attention of whatever boy she’s set her sights on. She’s selfish and self-absorbed, and she can’t seem to imagine thinking about anyone else. When Banri, who suffers from amnesia after an accident in high school, has some setbacks with his recovery and mental health, she breaks up with him because she can’t deal with it, leaving him to suffer through his issues alone. This is a couple we breathed a sigh of relief about breaking up and groaned about when they got back together.

2 Best: Tohru And Kyo (Fruits Basket)

This might be cheating since Fruits Basket was relaunched in the 2010s after having originally debuted in the late ’90s, but we just love this couple so much. Their relationship is part of what makes the fantasy of the series so sweet, and we always love misunderstandings and false starts in our relationship drama. The slow burn of watching Kyo and Tohru admit their feelings for one another, first to themselves and then finally, after an excruciating wait, to each other, is exactly what we want from our romance anime.

1 Worst: Yuzu And Mei (Citrus)

Yuzu and Mei in Citrus

We hate to say that we don’t like an anime love story between two girls, but Citrus just isn’t doing it for us. Yuzu and Mei are stepsisters, having just met following the marriage of Yuzu’s mother to Mei’s father. If that isn’t a weird enough dynamic, and an honestly annoying shojo trope, the actual relationship between the two is pretty questionable. Yuzu is attentive and eager to please and clearly very in love, while Mei is cold and distant and sometimes straight-up gaslights Yuzu about their relationship. The series itself also feels pretty gross, since they’re young teenage girls having hot-and-heavy makeout sessions. This one’s a hard pass for us.
